London & the South East

Redbridge freight forwarding recruitment

Experienced customs people rarely need to look for work. We approach them with the details that would make them move.

Redbridge is served by the capital's dense network of fulfilment, parcel and airfreight operations, which makes good permanent people both vital and hard to keep. We recruit the forwarders and customs specialists who keep that trade moving.

A forwarding offer competes with every broker and carrier within reach. We help set salary and commission so it lands first time.

With the M25 orbital, the A13 and A406, Heathrow Airport and the deep-water ports at London Gateway and Tilbury serving the region, forwarders across London & the South East often handle air, sea and road freight on the same desk.
